Disney brightens the lives of children and families in need through global outreach programs, community initiatives and the Disney VoluntEARS program. Last year, Disney donated more than $190 million in cash and in-kind support to worthy charities, and Disney VoluntEARS contributed 442,641 hours of service.

In conjunction with Disneyland's 50th anniversary, the Company hosted a celebrity-studded fundraiser for the Make-A-Wish Foundation^® aboard the Disney Magic that generated more than $1 million for the Foundation, which was matched by an additional $1 million from Disney. Guests were also able to share the excitement of 12-year-old Ashley Gullap from Mississippi, whose wish to meet Raven-Symoné of That's So Raven and experience "star treatment" was fulfilled that evening. The Foundation's most requested wish for children with life-threatening medical conditions is a Disney theme park visit, and more than 5,000 wish trips are granted to children each year. Other wishes include visits to Disney film or television sets and spending time with animators.

Disney also works with Starlight Starbright Children's Foundation, First Book, Toys for Tots and the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. Through these efforts, Disney enhances children's hospital stays, provides books to disadvantaged children and helps to make sure that children receive toys during the holidays.

Natural disasters, including the tsunami in Southeast Asia and the hurricanes that impacted the U.S., meant resources were greatly needed. In response to the devastation, Disney and its businesses donated more than $3.5 million to relief efforts and helped raise an additional $37.8 million.
